Bald faced hornets are 3/4" long and black with ivory markings on their abdomensand faces. They build a grey
spherical paper nest sometimes 12” or more in diameter. Hornet nests can
get quite large, even though the nest is abandoned in fall when the
colony dies and usually not reused. Fertile female hornets over-winter
under tree bark or in other small cavities and start new nests in spring. They are not overly defensive and can have nests quite
close to human activity without becoming a nuisance.
MUD DAUBERS
The most common mud dauber wasp in New Jersey is the pipe organ
mud dauber, It has a threaded waist. This wasp is solitary, black in color with some bluish overtones Mud Dauber builds mud nests in protected areas such as on walls, under eaves
or in attics. Mud nests are shaped like a pipe. Mud daubers rarely sting people unless provoked.

YELLOW JACKETS

Yellow Jackets also known as, paper wasps, meat bees, hornets
Origin:
There are many species of Yellow Jackets (Vespula wasp) in North America, including several species introduced from Europe. Two of these, Vespula germanica and Vespula vulgaris, are among the serious scavenger pests in this group.

Biology:
Yellowjackets are social wasps, with a Queen that initiated the colony and female workers that build the nest, care for the young, forage for food, and defend the colony. Colonies typically begin each spring and die off each fall in cooler climates, but may survive over the winter in warmer climates. The population of the colony easily grows to many thousands of workers by the end of the summer, at which time males are produced, mating with new queens takes place, and these fertilized queens then over-winter in protected locations. Adults feed on sweet liquids such as honeydew, nectar, fruit juices, or human foods such as sodas. They also relish a sugary material exuded by the larvae. The larvae are fed meat, and natural sources are insect larvae or bits of flesh from dead animals. As scavengers the workers also gather human foods at outdoor eating areas. The workers are all able to sting repeatedly, and very aggressively defend their colony from perceived intruders. Nests are placed either in aerial locations, including trees, shrubs, wall voids, or attics, as well as in the ground, where workers enlarge holes they find to accommodate the growing colony. The nest is created from cellulose gathered from tree bark, dried plant materials, or other sources, mixed with saliva, and formed as the hexagonal cells for the larvae.Identification:
Yellowjackets are very similar to the other social paper wasps called Umbrella Wasps, but differ by having no narrow waist between their thorax and abdomen. Colors are yellow and black, and specific identification of each species is done with differences in the patterns of the black patches around the eyes and head as well as on the abdomen. Yellowjackets, as wasps, have 2 pairs of wings that are dissimilar in size and shape. This separates them from many species of flies that mimic wasps, where there is only 1 pair of wings.Human interaction:
Yellow wasp is an inconvenience pest, that at times may become dangerous. As they prefer to establishe their nest in proximity to human habitat due to abundance of food sources. A large nest consisting of thusands of yellow jackets may attack humans if they percive a threat to their nest. As discussed before, yellow jacket will sting repetetly unlike bees, that can only sting once. Some call it it wasp bite or yellowjacket bite, but sting is not a bite. It is similar to a needleinjecting toxin into a fles. Once attacked, sting happens very fast and if more than one specimen involved in the attack, it is recommened to seek medical assistance. Yellowjacket or a hornet sting can be very painfull, and in some people who are allergic to their sting may be be fatal. If nest is established in the vicinity to a human habitat, it's enevitable that there will be interaction between humans and yellow jackets. At this point to eliminate this threat, nest must be removed. Unless experienced in handling wasp and yellow jacket pests, this procedure is better handled by professinal pest control technician. A removal remedy should include a repellent treatment, once nest is removed, to prevent yellow jacket re-infestation. Yellowjacket and hornet are just a different names for the same insectWASP PEST CONTROL

Approaching warm weather brings increased wasp and yellowjacket
population in Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Union, Mercer and Hudson
Counties. All those insects that were able to overwinter will begin to
build nests and rapidly multiply. Monmouth county experienced warmer
than usual winter weather in the last couple of years, which in turn
increases a possibility for wasp and yellowjacket infestation. Proper
removal of the nest should eliminate potential risk of wasp and human
interaction. For more information please feel free to call us. We will
